WORCESTER City were edged out 1-0 when they visited Stalybridge Celtic for a Blue Square North clash.
It was a disappointing defeat for Richard Dryden's men who competed well against one of the current form teams in the division.
Even more disappointing, however, was the sight of young striker Troy Wood being carried off on a stretcher, right on half-time, after suffering an ankle injury.

William Ricketts and Mark Danks came on for the second-half, replacing Jamie Price and Chris Smith, but it was Stalybridge who grabbed the all-important goal in the 69th moniute.
James Dean got on the end of a Chris Hall cross to force the ball home.
It was a similar story for Kidderminster Harriers who suffered a 1-0 Blue Square Premier defeat at Exeter City.
Harriers had more than held their own until 58th minute when Matthew Gill volleyed home the home side's winner.
Hereford United suffered a frustrating afternoon at Edgar Street against Bury, being held to a goal-less draw.
It could have been worse, however, as League Two leaders MK Dons and Peterborough also figured in a draw, 1-1, and third-placed Hereford stretched their lead to two points over Darlington, who lost 2-1 at Chester.
